Spam blocking for Gravity Forms
To get started, all you need to do is activate the plugin!
Is the Gravity Forms honeypot field not working for you? 🍯 🐝
Zero Spam is better than the Gravity Forms anti-spam honeypot field. If you’re getting spammed, try this plugin.
Use this plugin instead of reCaptcha
reCaptcha is user-hostile! Use this instead! Users don’t need to click stoplights, crosswalks, or bicycles when you use this plugin to stop spam.
Enable or disable filtering per form

I installed this recently on a client site and it works very well! It blocked a lot of spam, and let the good messages through. And I like that I can check and see what was blocked. I hope you keep this going.

Absolutely reccomended!
No more spam on Gravity Forms.
Not sure how it’s working, but it’s working great so far!
by wodobo·3 years ago
Most of the popular spam filters don’t block manual entries. I used to use another plugin that lets you manually choose to block an IP address if you determine that it’s spam, and that was semi useful, but took too much time monitoring. We had a client who was getting 5-10 spam messages a day and we installed this and it stopped. They are still getting legitimate messages but the spam has stopped. We’re still monitoring it to see if this keeps up, but so far this is a miracle worker. Thanks for whoever made this plugin!
